Feeling an extreme and sharp headache, she woke up to find herself in an unfamiliar room, opposed to her was sitting a man shrouded in darkness, the pain was acute and her eyes were still blurry, she could not understand how she came to be here. Closing her eyes to rest them, and calming herself to clear her head, she could faintly remember that she was disputing with those ruthless bullies from her high school, and then her head ached again, she had a flash of her frightful fall, she remembered the scene where one of the girls actually had the guts to push her off the roof, she could remember how her eyes held no pity nor fear of the consequences, she just wanted to get rid of her, Just how ruthless and crazed can people be? Can she really live a normal life after what she had done? What if I died, …!
A shock washed over her body, and a sudden realization hit her. How come I lived that fall, and this room doesn’t look like a hospital “So you’re finally awake” said a ruff masculine voice, startled the girl opened her eyes to stare at the man whom she noticed in the corner of the room earlier.
“Where is this pl…!” Holding her hand up to her lips, the girl was surprised to hear the voice that came out just now. What’s going on! Even though I know I was the one who spoke right now, but… what’s up with this low pitched voice Holding her hand up to stare at it with difficulty, she could not recognize it, uneasiness filled her. The uncomfortable feeling of having her body feel like a wreckage was not because she was feeling the aftermath of falling from a roof, rather, it was the feeling of unfamiliarity with her body! This was not my body! How can this be, how did this happen. While the girl was confused trying to puzzle out what was happening with her, the man kept staring at her waiting patiently while looking deeply into the person laying on the bad in front of him. How come I don’t feel any changes in him, how come he didn’t lose his human sent, not only that, there are no signs of him being anything else but human, how can this be? After trying to force herself to remember anything after her fall, the pain she felt in her head intensified tenfold to point where she fainted again. Falling into darkness, she found herself on the floor in an empty space, a faint light was flouting towards her which she could not discern, it went straight to her forehead, and all she saw after was the scene changing.
She saw a man walking, through a dark alleyway, feeling resigned to his fate, knowing that he could not live any longer, this weak body was on the verge of collapse. She could precisely feel what the man felt, her head was filling with fragments of his past, all his regrets, all his pain. While walking with a slow pace waiting for his body to give away, the man was hit by a pungent smell of blood, curious and feeling that he had nothing to lose anyway, he tried to walk faster and look for the source. Sitting on the ground, leaning on the wall, was a man with black long coat, deathly pale, breathing heavily, while his hand was holding his chest, blood oozing from a wound. The man walked closer to this stranger, hesitating but strengthening his resoles to see if he could help at least even if by a little.
“Get away, don’t come any closer”
Hearing him talk all of a sudden the man jumped in surprise. “Should I call for help? You’re wounded, and you must’ve lost a lot of blo...” “Just leave, don’t get near me!”
Hearing their voices the girl’s heart skipped a beat, these voices even though the wounded man’s voice was rougher and weary, it was still the same voice as the man in the room a while ago, and the guy’s voice, was the same as the one that came out of her mouth when she spoke earlier! What’s going on!? The guy didn’t heed the wounded man’s words and got closer to check on him, to both his and the girl’s shock, the man had a gaping hole in his chest, deviating slightly from where his heart, anyone with such a wound should have been long dead, let alone conscious and clear minded enough to speak.
The stranger fiercely glared at the guy who ignored his warning, he was holding back with all his might, he had to endure. The foolish guy kept staring in fright not knowing what to do trembling he looked up and was surprised to be met with sharp inhuman blood red eyes, the mouth that was grasping for air held a pair of glistening fangs as sharp as daggers. Feeling his body shudder and going cold all over, the pitiful guy fell to the ground trembling. He’s the monster from those tales of old, an existence that should not be, he is a vampire! Thinking that he should run, his fear kept him from being able to move his body as he wished, his legs gave way, he could not run, giving up on it , the guy calmed down, now that he was resigned, his head cleared up a bit after too much shock. Why didn’t he attack me after all this time, he even asked me to go away, shouldn’t he have killed me already? Building up some courage he looked back up, staring at those eyes that had luster to them earlier only to find that they were losing their shine and turning dull, he could not help but feel that he actually could not let him to die.
“Are you really a vampire? Like in those of old tales?” “Leave!” “I am a dying man either way, I lead a useless life, let me before my death at least be of use, even if I am to help you, who is deemed as monster, I do not mind in the least, even if those stories are true. Seeing as you want me away, I know that you are different, could my blood be of any use to you?” Ignoring him the wounded man closed his eyes stabilizing his breathing his enduring. With a jolt he opened his eyes again, a waft of fresh blood smell hit his nostrils, the foolish guy in front of him had actually cut his wrist with a piece of broken glass, inching closer to him, he offered him the blood seeping out from the wound. “Drink, it’s a waist if you let it drip like that, unless it’s not to your tas.!”
Before he even finished his phrase, the vampire had already lost his sanity with force he pulled the arm dripping with blood sinking his fangs into it, not feeling that he got satisfying gulps from it he reached his hand in pulled his prey’s head up from the hair and bit hard in his neck.
The girl watching all that was frightened but she could also feel the fulfillment that the guy she is now in possession of his body felt, but still the scene has shocked her, all that blood, the frenzied way the vampire was gulping up blood, it was surreal. After the guy was nothing but a pale corpse devoid of any drip of blood, the hazy unfocused eyes of the vampire finally cleared up like a fog had finally been lifted, still not clear headed he looked down to find that he had failed to hold back, he was furious at this idiot, why didn’t he leave when he asked him to? Even though he was in that sorry state he could still recover.
That was when the girl felt a strong suction towards the corpse’s body. The body made a jolt which surprised the vampire.
Maybe he was still alive? Maybe just Without hesitating for long he made a cut in his palm with his claws, and made the blood drip into the dead guy’s mouth. It matters not, I can just kill him if he morphs into a monster without sanity, but if it succeeds I can keep him around he might be useful, I can get rid of him anytime.
Keeping watch to see if there was any response he kept dripping his blood into him. Back in the dark space, a blood red light rushed in, the girl was still confused, she already came to the realization that her soul somehow possessed this guy’s body, not only that but even crazier, she is now in world that had monsters in it.
What in the world, this isn’t real, no way, too many things don’t make sense!
She even forgot the red light inching closer to her, to her fright she felt something crawling up sliding on her legs. Blood!! she tried to jump away but she found that she was chained in place she could not resist, the blood covered her and fused with her, seeping into her body, she felt her mind filling with some unknown information, she felt that she can understand it yet not grasp it’s meaning, like it was something she knows but did not comprehend, an acute pain flooded her conscious again and then nothing.
In the room faintly lit with candle light, that man shrouded with darkness kept watching as the guy was obviously struggling in discomfort, he could feel some change, a reaction. Furrowing his brows he could not understand what happened, the guy in front of him should have woken up a week ago and should not emit the smell of human anymore, if not turn into a mindless entity that only thirsted for blood, he should have turned into the weakest of vampires one he could turn into his servant. He felt even though it was faint and swift, there certainly was a presence of vampire's unique aura.
Just who is he? Could it be that he can actually keep his humanity but also have a vampire’s aura? My blood should have turned him completely how come he retained his humanity.
Forget it, I’ll keep an eye on him.
